One fine Autumn day, as I strolled down this pretty flowery path, I heard a strange little sound. It was like a soft, whispery whistle coming from somewhere in that pumpkin patch.

I thought to myself, "Could it just be the wind that I'm hearing, or are my ears acting like tuning forks and picking up strange and wondrous sounds from another world?"

As I proceeded to walk closer, something quite alarming caught my left eye

"Now wait just a slim minute!" I said out loud for all to hear. "What is this I'm seeing?"

Then I spoke very quietly so that noone would hear my perplexingponderings."Might this be a tiny man, a gnome perhaps or possibly a tricky little troll.....or am I just seeing fantastical dream-like creatures and imagining magically make-believe beings?"

Before I could wish him away, I heard him say in a whisper, "Come to the fancy little Halloween party right this way." Then he said, "If I were a gnome, I'd head straight home but if I were a troll I'd venture into a magical black hole."

Now follow me and take a stroll with this little troll as I make my way to a Halloween scene

that fanciful party where we'll take a break from our daily routine.

"Okay!" I said to little man, "Where must I go to experience this fantastical festive feast?"

Then he replied with this strange combination of words

"Lets take a tiny twirl right along the happy swirl,

just you and me

and the tiny girls of 3"

but then he disappeared, just as quickly as he had first appeared.

Before I could make sense of it all, I heard that little voice call out to me saying

"look I'm right here!"

"Are you ready?" he asked.

Now close your eyes and jump through time and space

to a brand new, fun and magical place.

Come along now, quickly I brought my 3 friends, and yes there's room for you too.

My head felt a whirl after taking that twirl.

Then I found myself so far from my home in the dwelling place of that trolling gnome.

That Troll he talked me into this

now I wonder if I'm in a mess.

The Troll explained what happens next....

the girls say "Hello!" and "Welcome to our nest!"

They giggled and laughed like all witches do

then introduced me to madam witchyworlands with the funny curled shoes.

She'll be taking a seat of honor at today's festive feast

and will joined by another who will share in the treats.

Mini Matilda, so sweet and so shy,

told me about when she first learned to fly

the other two witches sitting up in their tree performed a small bit of magic just for me

They magically moved their perch to the scene

by the window,

near the table,

where the grass is so green

Matilda said, if I look to my left I will I see

two beauties that she saw whilst she was up in the tree.

I greet these two sisters, I tell them hello

I'm not sure how I arrived here but maybe they know

The one sister's wearing a pretty black bow and a spider necklace to keep away foes

The more petite sister is dressed all in stripes she's shy and demure, you know just her type!

They check in the mirror to see how they look

The older one's something out of a fashionable book

while the coy little sibling spent the day with the cook.

She helped to prepare for the party with food

and everything looked so exceptionally good.

That bow and the spider are are both so charming the one is just lovely the other.....

potentially harming

The younger sister shows me the dotted bow in her hair

they both say together "Go get some pastries over there."

We take our seats, me and the 2 witches

We sample the pastries and look at the dishes

The witch to the left is the Red Witch of Elom

and the witch to the right once turned her brother into a melon

These two witches wait for something tasty to drink

This one she favors her favorite drink!

A tall sip of castor will hit the right spot

She'll drink it

and pass it

it's not very hot

Well, the treats were devine and tasty indeed

I must tell the two sisters it's time that I leave

They thank me for joining the party today

The three witches giggle and beg me to stay.

The Troll seems so sad to see me go home

I'm glad that I met that little green gnome.

I say so long Troll and he tells me goodbye,

he says go home now?

Go ahead try ;)

So long and Happy spooky Halloween to all of you sweet visitors! !
